Carissa Mine & Mill Tours

Tour one of the most authentic mining facilities in the nation. The historic Carissa mine and mill has been restored by the State of Wyoming, to bring it back like it was in its final year, 1953. Working equipment from the time, has now been restored and operates like it did over 50 years ago. Guided tours are limited to the first 20 people who sign up each day, so call and make reservations.
